JEAN SHEPARD

Dear John Letter Lyrics

Dear John, oh how I hate to writeDear John I must let you know tonightThat my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawnAnd tonight I wed another, dear John

I was overseas in battle when the postman came to meHe handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be'Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been wonBut then I opened up the letter and that started dear John

Won't you please send back my picture, my husband wants it nowWhen I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care dear anyhowAnd it hurts me so to tell ye that my love for you has goneBut tonight I wed your brother dear John
